Unlike a General Contractor or Design Professional whose fiduciary responsibility is to their employer, an owner’s representative is an extension of the owner and solely represents the owner’s interest.
The benefits of hiring an owners representative usually outweigh negative costs of this additional team member through cost and time savings implemented throughout the project.
Simple stated, an owner’s representative is an extension of you and solely represents your interest. The capacity and level of involvement is something that is determined by your needs and wants. Some owner’s prefer to be heavily involved while others like to view the project once completed. We believe the answer lies in the middle, this will allow you to keep a pulse on the project to make the important decisions and not to get involved in the daily process and means of construction.
Our experience, education, and training all lend well to represent you and your organization, and to act on your behalf using an educated, realistic, team approach plan.
